Crysis Patch Coming Soon
Last night Crytek and Nvidia representatives had a chat with the Crysis community, answering a whole lot of questions about the game, including future patches. Nvidia’s Roy Taylor said that gamers can expect performance improvements with every new driver, and Crytek’s Cevat Yerli said that they’re working on a patch which will also improve performance. The patch should be out within two weeks from now.

Yeah this game needs many fixes with bugs.
Example, I was on the boat to get some data off of the laptop. Next thing I know, I’m in water and the boat is doing wierd circles in the sky and then back under water.
Example 2, I noticed the enemies sometimes just lock up, they just freeze still. Don’t shoot back or anything.
Example 3, I also noticed the enemies look at nothing sometimes. I was having a firefight and bam he just starting looking up at the sky for no reason.
Other then that, the game is amazing. I’m glad they’re making 2 more.
November 17th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Well they definitely need to hurry up with that patch and make sure that SLI is working correctly under Vista 32 bit. I am really not happy with the performance of the game and so far I feel like the game was overhyped … I mean it looks great in some places but not all around … the detail of the bulidings and the inside of the trailers it just looks kind of unfinished. The jungle is where this game looks the best though … but overall I still have more fun with UT3 than with Crysis. But still Crysis is fun I just thought it was going to blow me away and it didn’t. Now CoD4 on the 360 running on my 52″ Hitachi blows me away every time I load it up … and it runs at a full 60 fps and looks unbelievable to boot. Too me that beats Crysis every time.
November 17th, 2007 at 12:10 pm
^agreed, CoD4 is fucking amazing, the sniper level was brilliant, kept getting amazed by the scenery. not getting crysis after playing the demo, it was just too poor, the only pleasure i got from cyrsis was shooting trees wherever i wanted and watchign them fall.
November 19th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
You guys are retarded. Been playing both COD4 and Crysis. The reason COD4 runs better is because the graphics just aren’t as refined. Theres way less objects within the game to manipulate and destroy. It’s obvious, it’s beyond obvious… Are ya blind?
Yeah, I noticed the interior of the buildings don’t look as good but you know what? Theres not much going on inside the buildings… You will notice the game takes place mostly outside. DUH. And thats where they put their effort. I am not saying COD4 isn’t a great game by any means, in fact Im going to play some COD4 right now, but Crysis puts it to shame in the graphics and eye candy department. And yeah, it’s running at 60fps on your 360 because it doesnt take much power to push that game.
November 19th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Doesn’t matter what the reasons are … the devs should have been aware of this and should have made more of an effort to optimize the engine. CoD4 is just so much better and no Crysis does not put it to shame … who cares if a game looks good when you can’t enjoy it? So yeah I will take CoD4 over Crysis any day and so will the folks who give out the GoTY awards. I thought Crysis might be in the running but after playing it I don’t think it has a chance of beating out Mass Effect, CoD4, or even *gasp!* Bioshock. What is the point of all the great graphics when there is no system around that can really PLAY the game as it was intended to be played. This is partly due to the poor SLI support under Dx10 but still the game was overhyped to the max and released a full year to early. Just watch how smooth Alan Wake plays when it finally comes out.
November 21st, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Crysis is GREAT, BUT, no sli and not very smooth, but call of duty 4 on the other hand, fully optimised for sli and runs perfect (over 100 fps) on 1680 x 1050
and all this on release, defo worth the money, crysis is not optimised at all, it is unfinished, they are releasing a patch eh, well if this solves the optimisation and sli, then and only then will crysis rule
November 25th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
I couldn’t have been more let down by Crysis… Yes I have SLI and Vista and the game doesnt run for crap. using one card i can play on medium settings…
what a waste! where is this freekin patch they keep promising. If I actually had a disc I would use it for a coaster to get my moneys worth. Shame on them for building up all this hype and then releasing poop on a cracker instead.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:09 pm
Well our team has been looking forward to crysis also. But the game does have alot bugs in it. I hope they will resolve that issue ASAP. But from hearing peoples thoughts on COD4 I am going to have to try it.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:19 am
There is always a very great danger when something is highly anticipated. Will it meet expectations—or fall flat on it’s face? After such a long time in development, Crysis finally hit the store shelves, and practically no one can play it. I built a system specifically for the game and it plays every game I throw at it—except Crysis. When I finally DID get the game to play at high settings, I finished the game in one day===ONE DAY! Short isn’t the word for it. Dismally short is more like it. The graphics? In some areas it’s incredible and in other–not so. I could almost play the game in VERY high settings, but the graphics were horrible. The scenes looked like photo’s over-sharpened with Adobe PhotoShop—very difficult to see what was going on. All in all, Crysis was released and took one GIANT belly flop right out of the gate. I keep asking myself—how could they be so dumb, but that’s a question that can not be answered.
November 28th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
fucking crysis bug x-( … i am at the end of the game … and suddenly a fucking bug stop me from finish it …. i fall just like in nowhere … GODDAMN IT
November 28th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Warpete I totally agree with all you said … this game is such a disappointment. I thought for sure they would not release it in such a miserable state but of course with EA pushing them what choice did they have? It is really a shame to because they had an opportunity to do something amazing and they fell on their face. In some places the frame rate gets so bad that you really cannot play the game unless you turn down the settings to low and medium and run it at 800×600 in a window.
Plus the story is weak and the game in many ways is actually boring. The aliens are very very weak … what the heck happened to their creativity? I really don’t like the game very much … yes parts of it look absolutely stunning .. like when you first out … the game starts out with decent performance, although no SLI and no quad core support is really unacceptable … especially when you consider this is that they were pushing users to go out and purchase.
In short EA ruined a great game by forcing the devs to release the game before it was ready. I really believe that the game would have done so much better with gamers if they would have delayed it for 4-6 months and tackled the critical core issues. Also under Vista the performance is lousy compared to DX9. And again the devs were the ones pushing everyone to go out and by DX10 enabled GPUs … well we did that and now we can’t even play the game well in DX10 mode. What a crock of Bullsh*t!
And because it is a PC game I can’t even trade it in. I can’t even imagine this game ever coming to a console … how? What console has enough cpu power, gpu power, and memory to handle this beast when even the most Powerful PCs around have real problems running the game smoothly. And it is not like this is some big ass RTS game like Supreme Commander so there is really no excuse for this. Heck even Gears of War using DX10/4XAA runs way smoother than Crysis does and is more consistent.
Crysis is basically an unoptimized, bug filled piece of dung. PERIOD. How utterly and completely disappointing. I would have had more fun with Timeshift for the PC. At least that game runs well.
November 29th, 2007 at 7:49 am
LOL! At you all…
Number…
1) Crysis is running of Cryengine2….Do ANY of you know what that means? It means its a completly previously un-used engine, built PUERLY from scratch for Crysis
The engine is in use in Far Cry 2, which runs lower graphics, at a lower frame rate, Crysis is one of the most optimized games avalible, other then COD series…
Have ANY of you noticed the cliffs? How they have a piss low texture until your upclose? and same for rocks? ITS CALLED OPTIMIZATION, so that your pissy systems can handle the game.
Crysis is infact Dual Core supportive, its the FIRST GAME EVER to be multi threaded, not even COD4 supports Dual Cores, and as for not supporting Quad Cores, sure dude, Id like to see you program a game to use each core, simaltaniously, while performing the same task, so as to not crash the game…DO you have ANY idea how hard that is…Freak who said Crysis is unacceptably not quad core supportive, go back to ur hole!
2)
I havnt noticed many bugs at all, I dont have SLI and run the game fine, The only bug ive seen is AI looking at my mate who was sitting in the car, they didnt shoot or anything.
Crysis is a very bug free game, and as for bad sli support, well, Considering COD4 was the first to actualy, SUCCESSFULLY support SLI and Crossfire, I think you can forgive Crytek, considering Crysis was developed before COD4 and there for implementing SLI without bugs would have meant a re-build of the engine.
3)
Crysis gfx are stunning, eye candy is stunning, performance, even more so…
Its a VERY scalable game, I run the game, at 25FPS on >MEDIUM< DX9 Graphics, with HIGH textures, physics, and sound/water quality, so ur systems, if they cant atleast do that, are not worth their money…
And u want to know what system I got….PISSY weak, 1.5GB ram, Nvidia 6600 256MB OC by 13%
So fags, if my system can run it at medium gfx, then ur SLI systems can do it fine.
4)
SHUT UP about EA supposidly forcing Crytek to release to early, it has nothing to do with EA, Crytek decide when the game is finished, Crytek Developed the game, not EA, EA mearly decorated it, and took the revenue….
Crytek are the ones that decide if its ready for the market or not, and it is way over due for the market….
If ANY of you actualy went out to buy a new computer to run crysis, you are puerly STUPID, no offical specs where released, and no demo was avalible, so wtf did u go get a new computer, thats just ur own fault!
5)
Dude, who said that they finished it in 1 day, go die, lol, I did this game on Hard, and it took me nearly a week to finish it, Then i did it on Normal, that too 5 days…..the Combat ALWAYS is different, so play it again on a different difficulty setting, then come back and bitch after you have died 100 times
Also, the XBOX 360 and PS3 can ALL handle Crysis better then a Dual Quad core computer….PS3 has 8 cores, xbox 360 has 7….
PS3 has a faster gfx card then the 2900XT, xbox 360 has a faster one then the 8800GT, you are all fags, it will run the game faster, and better gfx then any of our systems…..
Besides, due to limitations on the size of a disk, in which a game can run off, it can only be a single layer 4gb disk, crysis is 8gb, there for it will have to be reduced in gfx quality, models, lenght etc to fit onto the disk….Use some brain power, you can figure it out
Also, COD4 is always going to run better, its a completly differnt style of gfx, its a completly different engine that has being in use since COD1 days, it has since then been bug tested stacks of times…..
Crysis is realistic gfx, COD4 is “cartoon” (or so to say)….
Its like tyring to compare Age of Mythology gfx to Company of Heroes gfx…..and then saying….”Wtf as if Company of Heroes doesnt run the same speed as Age of Mythology, only with better graphics”
Same game type, different engine, different graphics…..
Water in COD4 almost non existent….and water they have in that gay small ship level, is crap, with like shit effects of bullet penitration into water…
COD4 bullets hit concreate or brick, have the same effect as if they hit metal, a spark…
Crysis has different effects for each thing it hits…
COD4 is in no way a dynamic battle field, with most things being static, even if hit by a grenade
Crysis is almost completly dynamic, with even rocks moving and dust being kicked up by a grenade explosing
Non of you that are comparing COD4 to Crysis, and saying that COD4 is way better, have ANY idea about comparison….
Sure COD4 has a better Depth of Field effect, and IMO better gun detail, but wtf?! Crysis has better textures, better tree’s, better physics, Which is for a fact the HARDEST thing to do in any game, and thats getting realistc physics, even if u do use the Ageia Engine…
Heck, Crysis could have used Point Sprites to simulate the light coming through tree’s, but then, the light doesnt move when the tree’s leaves move….EVERYTHING in crysis is dynamic, nothign is ever the same
Dont get me wrong, I do love COD4, because of its scalability, and its got great game play, but you are comparing a rather bad gfx game and effects game, to a game that wants a dual core to run and has everythign dynamic rather then static….
If you want to complain about an Over Hyped, over rated, shit game, complain about either Ancient Wars: Sparta, OR Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 10:41 am
@ Sgt D Pilla, u bot issuez
Try speaking authorititavely on the subject o fhardware optimization when u actually have some hardware worth running. I have a computer in the top 1000 3DMark scores on the planet, QX6850 running at 4×4 and 8800 Ultra SLI custom flashed to insane specs – everything water cooled. On most games (such as CS:S) at 1680 x 1050 I flatline at 300fps, kick that up a notch to HL2 EP2 and I average around 120fps, COD4 cranks at about 180 fps, this is all of course at max settings for the respective engines with older games like CS:S forced to SLI32xQ AA. All in all I’m pretty happy with my machine that I lovingly hand built and overclocked to the maxxx. Crysis however is fail. EA is fail. Crytek is fail. Crysis coasts along at 30fps and is very choppy, with mountains of image shearing, and that is at pitiful all V.High with NO AA. Try running the game as God intended at V.High with 16xQ AA and I get an earth shattering 3-5 fps. Somewhat of an anticlimax for agme that was supposed to be fuly quad core capable and SLI enabled. Now I will reply in turn to each of your numbered points 1-5 to show you and other n00bs out there how n00b u really are and how things actually are…
1. The game is not optimized because it doesn’t even run. For a game to be optimized it needs to run perfectly first then they can tweak an optimize the engine to run faser on certain hardware. Also, Crysis is not the first game to be multi threaded, HL2 EP2 is FULLY multi threaded, as are COD4 and a number of others well before Crysis’ time. What was “supposed” to be special about Cryfail is that it was supposed to be the first fully quad core SLI 64 bit game. IT’S NOT CHAMP!!
2. LOL are you smoking crack? COD4 was not the first game to support SLI. There are too many predecessors to mention… SLI has been around well before you even discovered what a computer was and we have been playing with it long before you turned on WOW. As for bugs, during gameplay try hitting the console every 2 minutes and see how many red error reports you get as you play. Like 50 every 5 minutes if your system is running smoothly. Cryfail is truly fail. It’s a freaking single player game. It fails. Single player games are supposed to run console perfect, as for their pitiful attempt at multiplayer, well I just calle it a single player game didn’t I? Tells you what I think of their multiplayer experience.
3. Crysis graphics are shit. The whole oint of running Crysis at all are for the “V.High” effects, which most of us want to see in DX10 mode. There’s basically no point running it in anything else or you could just download a HL2 mod. Anyways, in V.High, Crysis runs like a pig stuck in the mud. Any engine that can’t support even 4xAA in max effects mode is not worthy for release. SIMPLE. Cryfail have really dropped the ball, so they can lick mine.
4. I didn’t go out and buy a new comp for Crysis. I am a pro gamer. My PC is my work place. I run what I want to make my workplace as comfy as possible. In my opinion when Crytek and EA decided to get in bed together and release a product, they both have equal responsibilty to release something that meets a minimum level of performance – as I described in 3. In my opinion they both suck. They just wasted everybody’s time. I played the first level up until where the demo finished and stopped because there’s no point in my wasting the storyline and fps experience I was supposed to enjoy on an engine that is at pre-release development level. When a DECENT patch comes out I will play the full game – one that will run the game at my minimum expected specs. If this takes longer than 6 months, I will play the game and finish it in 2 hours, and never buy a Crytek game again, unless metacritic actually says it runs at respectable levels.
5. Stop smoking crack. Console does not have antialiasing. Console gfx are always inferior to PC. Console have reduced everything (textures, object detail, AA, engine effects, AI, Physics,……) Console are just ported PC games. Console games are not optimized for console hardware. Console looks jaggier than Mick Jagger but runs smooth due to fantastic frame sync. Got a Full HD TV? Hook up your 360 to it and run Bioshock, and enjoy the gameplay. Next hook up something like my PC to the same TV and play Bioshock and you will not believe it’s the same game. Stop being a n00b. As for the different game styles and engine styles employed, they are two different games. Crysis was supposed to an excercise in realtime cinematic effects and a remarkable fps experience, COD4 is multiplayer game that is built for competition. Consider something like BF2, would you want it to have fully destructible environments and insane post processing effects? NO!! You want everything to behave like a cartoon so that the fundamental basics of online play are preserved. If you don’t know what this means I don’t have the patience to explain it to you or the time to de-n00bify you. Basically COD4 is a very polished competition engine with a single player mod. Crysis was supposed a paradigm shift in fps simgle player with a multiplayer mode, but it fails in every respect. COD4 has the best graphics I have ever seen to date (because I’m running it on a real computer) and that is why it won GOTY best graphics. Crysis although it is fully dynamic as you say (and it’s really not although I don’t want to argue it too much because it is the only thing out their that comes close, and it’s the industry’s first attempt) looks horrible when compared to other games. HL2 EP2 destroys Crysis any day of the week. Why? Becasue it delivers in gameplay and experience what Crysis was MEANT to do, by scaling engine and maths effects to current day hardware. I think Crytek meant well and the idea is great, but if you are going to try to od what they meant to do, either be realistic like Valve or don’t release the thing until it runs the way I said in 3, on the current day’s best hardware – not overclocked.
D Pilla, maybe you should think before you open your mouth. Don’t forget that you are a n00b and as such have no idea what is going on, so you might want to take on the ideas of people who have more experience in these things and actually have a clue as to what is going on… Good luck!
November 29th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Im asking BFG for advise on crysis 64bit sli, I will post the results asap
November 29th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
according to bfg it does support 64bit sli any one know how
November 29th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
I Love these pissing matches.
I have to agree, Crysis is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. teh n00bzor i’m not running at quite your spec (XPS 720 H2C, QX6700, 2×8800GTX, 4 GIG, 30″HC) and it chugs on anything above mediocre rez. COD4 looks stunning and, maxed out, never hiccupped once. There is no worse feeling than knowing you spent a small fortune on a system only to run a game at half the resolution. Except maybe, as in my case, having a 30″ reminder staring you in the face.
November 29th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
This certainly doesn’t bode well for the game coming to consoles. People were saying that the PS3 could run it but the xbox 360 couldn’t. Seems like without some MAJOR work nobody’s going to want to play it on a console.
November 29th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
lol at “the n00bzer”
I never played WOW its a gay shit game XD…..
Crysis is massivly optimized, like I said, The moutain cliffs with shit textures until your close enough for them to actually be noticed, = optimization
Every object that is off screen not being rendered = optimization
Also, since you didnt read my post PROPERLY….I said Crysis is the FIRST game to SUCCESSFULLY support SLI and Crossfire….
COD has ALWAYS been shit at that…..
No Games other then COD4 and Crysis are Multithreaded……Go and actualy read the source code, you’ll see how wrong you are.
Also, there is something wrong with your computer….and im not just saying that, try updating drivers, maybe you have a heat issue….
But my mates 8800GTS runs Crysis Full Gfx, Full Res, Full AA and AF at around 40fps….
Another mates 8800GT runs the same gfx at around 50fps
Your ultra should be wtf pwning, and ur quad should atleast be running with 2 cores in the game, which suggest to me that ur quad software and firmware is being homo….
my mates C2D runs both cores at 100% and on his Radion 1700x Laptop, he gets Full DX9 gfx with AA, but at a limited res of 1440*900
So I suggest formting or something…
BUT YAY for a smart person who didnt go out and buy a new computer for a non existent game
Also, you provded my point with consoles, thats excatly what I was saying, they have LEss things so will run 1000* better, yet on the PS3 graphics >WILL< be comparable to DX9 Medium – High…..And for ur info, the PS3 does have AA
But again, your comparing a well refinied engine of the COD series, and of a game that has almost everything static, to a game of a 2yr old engine that has never before being used, and to gfx that are a first of its time, with almost every object being dynamic….
You cant compare games like that, compare COD4 and Bioshock, fine, but compare a static object oriented game to a dynamically object oriented game and you are of-course going to come out on top with a static game…
I mean hell, wtf is crysis isnt dynamic?! Water is, clouds are, heat rays are, light rays are, shadows are, foliage is, tree and other plants are, vehicles are, AI is…
name a dynamic object in COD4…..Dust is, dirt is…
you see COD4 fails….COD4 water is a static image with a bump map over top
Crysis water is a Freely rendered Direct3D Bump, Mip, Normal, and Oscilate Maped image, infact CryEngine is the ONLY engine that can hanlde haveing so many maps on textures……
Here’s and example….go to a beach in crysis, that has Tall cliffs on either side of you, these cliffs have to be in a postion so that they are the height of your screen….
Now SLOWLY move the camera with ur mouse (INGAME) until you notice a “black” or “white” square appear where the texture and moutain was…..
they did that in BF2 and upwards aswell, it “kills” the moutain texture, and part of the model so that it is no more rendered…..
OPTIMIZATION!
Also, You are right about EA, nobody does like EA heck, I hate EA….
BUT it is NOT upto EA as to when the game is ready for release…..ONLY CryTek can say “YES, it is finished development, QA test it, then release”
November 29th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Guys, Cool Down……………… Patches are needed. Have you ever not loaded a patch to a newly release game. Its the way of releasing every new program or game under the formula.
Look up the word Ideaist in dictionary ( contrary to reality) Fantacy is fun in a game but a bitch in the real word.
Reality 101
Marketing in the real world.
Fomula 1. Rumors
2 exagarate, hype, build expectations
3 paid testimonies from mags and Advers- teasing
4 promote upgrades of componates DX-10, Vista ,8800 ultas
5 get sales to pay for continuing deveolpment as soon as possible.
6 dirve stock value up.
7 expect fantacy minded gamers to be pissed then ignore them
8 cant return game once played except for an other of the same .
Even if you were a member of the board an said lets release only a perfected game and have integrity to the mission.. What do you think others would say?
“Sound good lets make him the president ”
Its a game not a Mars mission….. its $29.00 the price of a couple to see a 100 min movie. where you sit like a mushroom and have the same brain activity as a nap. Gaming Kicks ASS. It developes you mental muscle.. Oh I get it maybe thats what were doing here is kicking each others asses on this site.
BOOM your Dead. Reality win again
November 29th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Oh i forgot to say they paid me big bucks to say that
November 29th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
Lul, that was confusing…
Also, that last anonymous post was me XD
But lol, I just played crysis, and Only discovered one more bug, was MADLY funny though, Some guy was sitting like in the air, while controling the MG GUn on the ground lol, he was so not positioned properly XD
Also, its dependent on the store you buy the game from as to if you return it…Example, My aus store I brought the game from, lets me return it when ever I want no questions asked….
Haha, how awesome is this game! Shotguns rule, only run outa ammo waaaaaaaay to fast, Mah ill mod this game like everyother game I play, not much to mod though, its like perfect as is!
November 30th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
My whole clan Gave up on Crysis and we now play Call of duty 4… It’s a better game in alot of ways. Also I cant stand ignorance like this comment
lol@ sgtpadilla
“COD4 was the first to actualy, SUCCESSFULLY support SLI and Crossfire”
please dont even waste are time with your nonsense wall of rubbish.
Learn how to post and get to the point… no one want to read your wall of crap…
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:49 am
lol, cause you think its a “wall of rubbish” , I mearly re-state what the game devs, game reviews etc say, COD4 was the first to successfully (meaning FUlly and bug Free) support SLI and crossfire, other games supported it, but had many bugs with screen splitting and sharing….
Lol because your clan gave up on a game, with almost no bugs, performes fine on even shitty systems like mine,….considering crysis has very few bugs, and it hasnt even had a patch yet, im amazed that an entire clan can give up on a game so easily….
“This game is a brand new next gen game, with a single bug or two, lets never play it again”
^^That is excatly what you and your supposed ‘clan’ are doing, although, I doubt you are even in a clan, I see way to many comments like “Im a game dev for the game” or “Our clan is one of the biggest” until I actualy see u in a COD4 game (which I play daily, on over 40 servers) I wont beleve ur in a clan :p….
Also, you need your facts straight :p
but then again, Im the one that reckons crysis is near perfect for a never before attempted game of this detail
But YAY for the patch, There’s a beta avalible….so go go go and get it, mind you, I havnt noticed any changes in it
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Thats funny, I put the web site up so people could see the clan and you say I’m not even in a clan Real Observant! Click on my name and you can see the site. Reason most of gave up on Crysis is because alot of us have SLI and Vista. Others just got bored with it because there are so many other good games out right now “cod 4″ . Actually right now I got everyone addicted to Age of Empires 3… lots of fun.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:04 pm
@ Sgt D Pilla
Out of curiosity, tell me what kinds of systems your mates are running. I’ve never heard of any scenario in which someone runs this game at 40 fps with full res, AA & AF. To me that’s like saying the PS3 is a premium, must own system because of it’s extensive game library and price point. I suppose the shot at the PS3 wasn’t necessary, but still… tell me what they are running, and what manner of pixie dust is employed to get your stated results.

Thank you for the lecture, Sgt. D. Pilla! You are assuming that you are more knowledgeable the the rest of us–but you have no clue. You run at 30Fps on Medium with DX9. Medium? I am running at 24-38 Fps at very high settings on DX10, because I built a system that could handle that—NOT just for Crysis, I do a lot of video editing and 3D graphics. I’m the one who finished the game in one day—–on HARD settings. It took you a week? Incredible. I did Beta testing for the game months ago–and it seemed to run better then, but since then something went horribly wrong. Nvidia is aggressively trying to write drivers that will improve the performance of the game, but the latest driver (169.12) does not work as well for me as the 100.** series drivers–not optimized for Crysis. Go to other forums for Crysis and READ what other gamers are saying. You are in the minority here. Bottom line—the game shoud not have been released. The Crysis Beta testers were ignored when they submitted their opinions and suggestions. The game itself (not considering performance) is very short and has a weak story line. Sure, you can make it last a week to finish——if you sit in the bushes and don’t ever move. Wait for the new Farcry to be released and I guarantee there will not be these problems. By the way, if anyone wants to plunk down $49.99 for Blacksite-Area 51, be my guest. It takes 11GB on your Hard Drive and is on my top five list of the WORST games I have ever played. Absolutely pathetic. It would have been good in 1998. Anyway, eBay will be overloaded with Crysis games being sold by those who can’t play it or are just completely disgusted. What makes things worse for me——after playing the game and finishing it (in one day), I have absolutely no desire to ever play it again—it left so little of an impression on me. It’s eBay time!

noobzor and Sgt D Pilla LOL you guys are funny.
Oh so many errors on both sides.
First, Xbox 360 uses 4x AA for every title. The PS3 uses AA as well.
Second, The Devs of Crysis do not even think the PS3 or 360 can handle their game on Medium settings, I’m pretty sure they know more about this then you do.
3. Crysis looks great on High, However It does not support SLI in it’s current fashion, most people using SLI ( or even having it enabled , not just set to single card rendering) are getting around 50% less performance on the min FPS.
4 Crysis has some major problems, Iv played with each setting one by one ( oh so boring) and ran the Benchmarks in the game. LOL some times on certain medium settings the game actually has higher res textures on the cliffs in the background, weird. So no Crysis definitely is not optimized.
The PS3 Cell CPU is more like a CPU that’s in between being a GPU and CPU. Its massively parallel but yet can do general purpose calculations. However NOTE THIS IN YOUR LOG CAPTAIN. Its not nearly as fast as a GPU when it comes to parallel and when it comes to general purpose a core 2 duo will smack it all day long. In fact at folding it cannot even do the same types of proteins that a normal CPU can with in any acceptable time. And the GPU’s of yesterday are around 30 times faster at the ones the GPU’s do. But again the GPU’s cannot do as many as the PS3 or the CPU’s.
The PS3’s GPU is based on the 7800GTX , It is slower then the 1900XT based GPU in the Xbox360 and about 10 times slower then a 8800GT. … What you said on the matter just, made my day, so ignorant.
Now on the Xbox 360 only runs on single layer DVD’s, Well I know for a fact it can play dual layer movies. Givin that you demonstrated your ignorance already, I’ll assume this is just more of the same from you.
I’m reminded of Stalker, Just wait and let the patches wash away the pain.
December 6th, 2007 at 1:54 am
I’m both totally impressed and totally disappointed with crysis. As far as FPS and graphics go, it’s fine on my system (8800gtx, dual core XP, 3G ram, liquid cooled), very nice work all around. I’m impressed with the gameplay as well. But the bugs are a major detriment- I’ve been stuck on the snow level for days- after killing the aliens they don’t disappear, and the comptuer doesn’t register it as a kill (they are just frozen in space), so I can’t clear the level. So incredibly annoying…
Anybody have any word on when the fsck they are going to release this mythical patch?
grrrrr
December 6th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Yea… they said 7-14 days for the patch… It’s been alot longer then that…
I’m beginning to think everything they say is a lie…
December 12th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Crysis is Shite…………………AND you don’t need any kind of experience in jack shit to know it.
It does not play like it is supposed to and any amount of the idiots claiming how great it is are blowing smoke out their arses.
The patch has been promised for ages and still it’s a no show.
In short……………….the retail item is a rip-off since it’s not finished.
Would you buy a new car without knowing it runs as it should?
I will not buy another game from the crytek stable ever again.
December 12th, 2007 at 5:48 pm
Sgt D Pilla lol your fuckin mad lol the xbox 360 has a ati 1800 am not sure wot the the ps3 has but the 360s grapics card is better and as for 8 cores try 2 and 1 for the 360 lol dick head !!!!
December 16th, 2007 at 5:54 am
LOL… I am almost taking a dump in my pants right now reading all this bullshit. Honestly, where you guys REALLY let down about this that you have to go ON and fucking ON about something you CANNOT change! It is a good game! Play it! Shut the FUCK up! Its new, something different. Give it a chance.
I just bought a 96 VW Jetta.. and yeah, it has stupid little problems, problems I can overlook because it drives really well. So, if I just listened to people telling me all the BULLSHIT about the car… I would have never purchased it. Well, im glad I did regardless of the problems I may encounter while I own it.
Go get a fucking life and while your at it… DOWNLOAD THE FUCKING PATCH WHEN IT COMES OUT.
December 16th, 2007 at 11:34 am
Sounds like you need to take a dump in your 96 Jetta… I owned a 2001 Jetta and it was the biggest piece of crap I ever owned. They put the piston rings in upside down from the factory. It ruined the exhaust system but they only replaced the piston rings cheap #$%$’ s. Kinda of similar to Crysis. Anyways the reason allot of us are bitching is because the game is broken if you have SLI and VISTA. I think you just have the Queens tough guy complex. “Hey yo! Mike from NY here… I take dumps in my pants doh… and I’m tough!” Freekin tough guys!
December 16th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
Maybe I will take a dump in my Jetta after reading your poor excuse for a reason to bitch. Makes me sick to my stomach and im kinda feeling runny.
If I didn’t know any better I would say your a little bitch. You seem to bitch alot. Kinda like my a couple of girls I know.
Now, for the real reason I even said anything. EVERYWHERE I go, people bitch. Complain. Nag. You are obvious proof. Why not engage in intellectual conversations about how you cant wait till the patch comes out? I mean, you MUST still be playing the fucking thing and enjoying it, right? You wouldn’t be “looking” for a patch or anything that had to do with a patch for Crysis… but instead you go on and OOOOOOON about how bad the game is. Who the hell is gonna read this that actually gives a flying fuck anyway? Well, maybe me but who the hell am I? NO ONE.
Cant wait for the response on this one. I’ll be waiting.
December 16th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
It was an intellectual conversation about the patch tell you got here and started cussing at everyone and insulting us!
I said why I was having problems with the game and still… all you can do is yell, act tough and call us women. I said… I was gonna reserve judgment of the game tell the first patch comes out.
You obviously have no knowledge of SLI or crossfire technology and thats what I was talking about when you stumbled your way into this thread.
It’s like you have two brain cells left.. one is chasing the other around and all you can do is yell and insult people.
Famous Mike from NY quotes…
.” LOL… I am almost taking a dump in my pants right now reading all this bullshit”.
“Maybe I will take a dump in my Jetta”
“Makes me sick to my stomach and im kinda feeling runny.”
“Dooh heya Mike from NY here I’m tough and I favor taking dumps in my pants”.
Everyone knows that people like you have to insult others to feel better about themselves… It’s obvious.
I mean the single reason you are here is to insult people.. you don’t even care about the game so go back under your bridge you freekin Troll.
December 16th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Alright, alright. Let me add some input that’ll fit this thread.
Man, Crysis sucks. I cant even play it in SLI mode cause it sucks so bad. I mean, they said they were releasing a patch for it in like 7-14 days… and they didn’t. Those guys are liars, I dont believe them anymore. I think they are going to take longer to release the patch and that pisses me off. Crytek sucks. EA sucks. They should just cancel the whole project. I mean, what is the point of me owning two 8800 GTS’ if I cant even utilize them in Crysis. I should just get rid of my system and get a PS3. Atleast that has 8 cores and by the time Crysis comes out on it it’ll run flawelessly (albeit due to drastic modifications and draw distance limits kinda like Oblivion via Xbox 360).
Listen, just relax. They will release the patch.. and when they do, if it FAILS… then I’ll totally agree with how pissed off and upset you will be. I’d probably be pissed. Well, you wont be pissed and upset. Just let down and you’ll keep playing COD4 cause your a rebel. I have tons of games and I encounter problems with them here and there. For instance… I just purchased an 8800GT… after installing it, I can no longer play CS:S. Still looking for a cure for that one. I have seen NUMEROUS threads of people bashing and praising the game for this and that. Same thing with Crysis. Same thing with.. yea, yea, yea… the Jetta. I am an easy going guy and try to be patient and understanding.
Anyway, anyone know why I could play CS:S with a 6600GT before and cant now with an 8800GT? I can play Half Life. That loads fine. HL.exe crashes when trying to load CS:S.
32bit Vista Business
2.5Ghz Athlon64 3200+ (o/c’ed)
1gig of OCZ cas 2
Factory O/C 8800GT
All updates. Everything else runs fine. As far as I know anyway.
December 16th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
ok end of pissing match…:)
I’ll just wait for the patch and see if it fixes my problem…
Have a nice day Mike from NY
December 16th, 2007 at 4:28 pm

December 17th, 2007 at 9:53 pm
20 minutes of my life that I wont ever get back…but it was entertaining.
Did we resolve anything? I Think I can bring one or two facts to the table that we might all agree on…EA {Sports} has been back sliding since 1996 they have some how managed to lower the quality of all titles they have been affiliated with.
The other fact {may we all agree} PC games are designed for mutiple machine platforms but by no means can developers, designers and publishers compensate for all our geek tweeks and mass technology developements.
Experienced PC gamers know when you open your wallet, no matter what the reviews say, “no return no refund” its a crap shoot. The only true way to enjoy bug and patch free play is on console and save the PC for homework or porn.
The old saying goes..If you cant run with the big dogs…..stick with your budget and rent, return and trade.
As for Crysis…it collects dust on my hard drive waiting for a patch filled rainy day just as many other games have waited… The 50 dollars that no longer occupies my wallet….well, I have pissed that in the toilet on more than one occasion after a night of drinking.
Thanks for the entertainment, Next time I will invite a chick…cheaper than a movie.

If anyone is interested http://www.tweakguides.com/crysis_10html
has a lengthy tweak guide for crysis, includes some interesting performance tweaks like…force DX9 will give you a 10 to 20% performance increase. its not as good as a patch but you might boost your performance and learn a few things along the way.
Rock on.

I just have to reply… even its to late.
Jeez what a loser is that n00bster.
What a waste of money! He is a professional gamer with talent to make crapy system out of expensive hardware, just lol.
BTW, Crysis is masterpiece. A new benchmark every other will follow, mark my words.
